Like the Dementor's kiss for example. Does anyone wonder why LV hasn't 
attempted to use one of these "other methods" on Harry?  

Steven1965aaa:

Because to Voldemort's way of thinking, there is nothing worse than 
death.  I think Dumbledore was referring to other ways to destroy a 
man, other than killing him.

IMO, by the way, this is one of the big advantages Harry has over 
Voldemort.  Voldemort's ultimate goal is to survive.  To achieve that 
goal he must kill Harry.  On the other hand, while Harry certainly 
wants to live, his goal is to vanquish Voldemort and in the end IMO he 
will be ready to lay down his own life and sacrifice himself to 
achieve that --- in other words he's ready to die to get rid of 
Voldemort but Voldemort is not ready to die to get rid of him.  This 
does not mean Harry will actually die in the end.
